Exchange sacrifices, in particular, (rookfor bishop or knight) present the problems.Either there must be a forced checkmate or calculable return of the material sacrificed. Or, if no immediate return or partial return is certain, there must be some strategic advantage and pressure, which promise good chances for a later return.(Diagram 1)BLACKMCQ-K2; 3) Q-B2, R-QBS; 4) N-R5, N-B5; 5) BxN, PxB; 6) QxP, R-KN1; 7) BxRP, R-N4; 8) B-N4, R-Ql; 9) N-B4,P-R4; 10) NxP;N-B6, Resigns.Notice in the theB-R3; 11)ofcontextplay the many problems plaguing him.
